Islam: The Religion Of Happiness You want to be happy? Read this message. If you can be happy after reading it, then surely there must be some truth in it. Embrace that truth and you will continue to be happy throughout your life. Welcome to the world of thinkers. Those who find the truth are those who spend some of their valuable time thinking about happenings in this universe. Why is it here and why am I here? Do I just live and die like trees and animals around me? Sometimes I feel empty inside. I think that this have something to do with my belief. There must be something to believe in, something to fill this feeling of emptiness inside. But can it be filled with anything else beside the truth? No. There is no time for that. I want to live living the way of life, the true way of life. Why am I unhappy and bored in my beliefs? Maybe it is just because I am not living the way of life, the way that God teaches his servant so that His servant can be happy because only God knows what are His servants needs. What is Islam? It means freedom, it means peace. It is the way of life. It is no doubt a religion but actually it is the religion, the actual religion, the original religion, the first religion of mankind. When we embrace Islam, we return to the original religion, the default religion of Allah, the only God of the Muslims and the only God of the whole mankind, the only God of the whole universe, the only God of the past, now and the future. Does Islam actually the religion of our ancestors? It depends on what your near ancestors believe in. Maybe they have no religion at all, in another word they never associate all those they hear and see with who created all those things. Given sound minds, human can easily think that those happenings must have been created, and the creator is Allah, there is no other God but him. This is the fact all humans can think. You can know who was the first man on earth because his name was mentioned in the Books. His name was Adam, the Jews, Christians and Muslims knew that Adam and Eve were our first father and mother. What religion did Adam embraced? Read on. Adam was a Muslim. Did Adam a Christian or a Jew? No. He was a Muslim. One who embrace Islam is called a Muslim. Islam is not just the religion of Muhammad (peace be upon him - pbuh) but Islam was the religion of all past prophets of God including Moses and Jesus, ever since Adam. Does religion belongs to a prophet? The answer is no. Islam belongs to Allah. He is the only founder of Islam. So if the religion does not belong to a prophet, then it is a big mistake to believe that a prophet is God. Moses, Jesus, Muhammad are just prophets of God, they were not Gods. They are just human beings. Islam is the oldest religion, not the youngest religion. The uniqueness of Islam lies in the fact that it suits all time, all centuries, all civilizations. Ever since Adam until Muhammad (pbuh), this original religion was, still and continue to be known as Islam, the religion of peace. Muslims believe in one God (Allah) and believe in the after-life (akhirat). Since Adam, humans were thought the same thing, that there is only one God and the prophet (who spread Islam) is the prophet of God. For your information, even though the Jews and Christians said that their religions are semitic enough (semitic means the religion of heaven), those religions have deviated from the original religion of God, they have deviated from the original teachings of Islam. They cannot accept that Adam, Solomon, Jacob, Abraham and other prophets all spread the same religion called Islam and thus should be treated equal as prophets of God. They will be facing problems trying to explain to you why did their religion called Christian (the religion of Jesus Christ) or Jew (the religion of Jehuza, son of Jacob). Or Hindu, or Buddha, whatever. Islam is the religion of God, it is unfair if Muslims or non-Muslims call it Muhammadism (the religion of Muhammad) because Muhammad (pbuh) was not the founder of Islam. Know this difference because Islam is not founded by humans. When anybody embrace Islam, it means that he actually returns to the original and true religion of God (Allah). Now, all Muslims follow the teachings of Muhammad (pbuh) because he was the Last Prophet of God. Moses and Jesus were also prophets of God but they were meant for the people of their times (the Israelites). Moses and Jesuss original teachings were no doubt Islam, but nowadays their followers no longer follow what was originally thought by them. Muhammad (pbuh) was appointed by Allah to preach Islam once again, to remind the followers of Moses and Jesus that actually they have gone astray. Thanks for your interest in Islam. As a Muslim, it is my responsibility to tell you about Islam, the religion of our first father, Adam. We encourage you to read, investigate, research and think before you believe. Thats the beauty of Islam, unlike other religions that urge you to believe first then only you think, Islam respects your freedom of choice. Please remember: If you are sincere enough to find the truth, Allah will give you light. Thanks for reading this. I pray that Allah will give you light to be with us. You can always e-mail me if you have any doubt about Islam. InsyaAllah (Gods willing) my friends and I will help you. May Allah bless us all, Hibatullah Yusof Al-Haj Malaysia, South East Asia
